Not being an expert, I can offer 2c worth: Some of the older golf card speed controllers were nothing more than a series resistor to add resistance in series to slow the motor, and a big switch to turn it off. The newer ones use solid state devices to chop the voltage and send a lower...

Kyle, I'll elaborate a little on the ex-French 404 Unimog because I know the gang on here loves a good story. This truck was stationed with French NATO forces in Germany all it's life, was sold in 1991 to a large German company (Vebeg) along with 300 others, but failed to function and was sent...

Kyle, your 404 is doing very well to get that mileage. I only get 12 to 14 with my two. Your truck is running as a 404 should run, providing much better acceleration than most people think a 404 is capable of. Considering only 2.2L displacement, but with a high rev'ing engine, these trucks...

Dave, Many of us with 404's do the 'civilian' conversion to unshielded plugs and spark cables, and also put in a Petronix ignition. I had continuing point problems before the Petronix upgrade. My guess would be bad points, and that's so easy to check. Just take off the dissy cap, set the...

RE: Updated Pics Hi Dave, Very nice! You'll find these trucks such a fun vehicle to drive (especially compared to a 'Goat') that you'll be taking it everywhere! Bob in Tennessee

Here are some pictures of my 1965 Unimog radio truck and several friend's 404's. We are in route to Mt Evans, 14,250 ft summit in Colorado, to the Denver University Observatory up there on the top. We have done these trips for several years to allow the Univ crew to service their snow-bound...

The fuel filters are available at NAPA, - NAPA 3167, or Baldwin PF-834. You might take along your old one to be sure because MB sneaks changes in on us. However, getting the real filter from a Mog parts guy is a good idea because the MB part has the seals and O-rings. You might get away...

Hi Chris, Is that the same truck? Senior moment maybe. I definitely hadn't seen those good pics. It certainly is as interesting and unique truck. Bob

I forgot to mention that you should sample the fuel in the tank. Stir up the tank, drain out a pint or so and look at it. If clear, it's probably ok, but if cloudy it might be growing. Diesel fuel gets contaminated by algae if it sets too long. That will plug the filters almost immediately...

Hello, Sounds to me that Mike has done an excellent job of diagnosing a possibly bad IP, but see below. After bleeding both fuel filters as you have done, that's usually enough to get it pumping and started. It's not usually necessary to loosen the injector lines. When you start loosening...

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: Unimog SEE at GSA When the stabilizers are down, and the front bucket stabilizing the front, there's no need for suspension lockouts for backhoe use. For front loader use, the small amount of movement in the suspension (the heaviest MB made for this model truck) is...

That manual link is a great resource, Thanks!

I use an MB4/94 almost daily. It's the farm tractor used for mowing, disking, harrowing, logging, hauling wood and gravel, maintaining my driveway, and excavating. With the 3-point hitch it can use any generic implement. With the backhoe and front loader in place it's handy for my...

I'm looking for information on a trailer called an LST-178. LST is "lubrication and service trailer". This trailer has a MIL standard 4 cyl engine powering a large air compressor with onboard air tank. The lubrication equipment consists of 3 reservoirs with high pressure pumps to provide...

Most of the Diesel Unimogs can be ordered set up as tractors. Especially desirable is the 406 model. Available options included multiple hydraulic circuits front, rear, and midframe, 540/1000 rpm PTO's with standard 6 spline on the front and rear, high speed PTOs for driving high capacity...
